EPS 4 DADDY LOVE

LOVE DADDY

Father may not be good at showing love to his children, but behind it all he secretly fought and sacrificed for their future.

There were no trees swaying that morning. There was no sighing wind, no rubbing leaves. The atmosphere is so calm and quiet. Giving space longs for every heart that devotes itself to the path of light. Like you found a hope after losing your grip, and fell in a quiet room.

Panembahan Somawangi sat on a stone building like a temple. On the walls are beautifully carved reliefs of his father's life journey Begawan Wanayasa. On top of a hill, on the Dieng plateau, his father was residing. To live a long sleep in a beautiful dream, after all the obligations of his life are fulfilled.

So that's the most appropriate place to voice pain. Bringing your life to the person who always protects you while still together. While shedding tears without feeling ashamed, because he used to see your cries.

“I'm sorry dad, I'm coming back. Maybe I've brought the wrong love before you. Because I just follow my wishes. Making up lies to get real love. But it ends in a prolonged and painful dream. Because I can't forget it, forgetting the love that I intentionally craved too deep in my heart niche, the inner” of Panembahan. “I can't even tell the difference anymore, is this love or curse?”

There was a spot of crystallized water in the corner of his eye. And Panembahan let him fall down, soaking his robe.

“I can never forget his shadow even though he has hurt me so much. Now what should I do dad?”

Her lips continue to chant puja-puja, hoping for a miracle to restore her love no matter what form. Rebuilding his pride as a man who is loved with all his heart. Reconstructing his good name as a formidable swordsman and a feared warlord. Showing the world that he has transformed into a new human figure with all his arrogance and determination.

Then the corner of his eye caught the light. The starlight shot out in the sky, smashing into the air wall, then exploded and split into two. One colored light leads down towards the hill where his father's tomb is located. One more light fell out somewhere. Crossing over to the other part of the earth.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion. Panembahan Somawangi rushed to hunt him. With agile feet down to the bottom of the hill where the falling object of the sky earlier. A large hole like a small crater appears to be formed due to the impact of the meteor rock earlier. At the center of the hole, a stone as big as an adult thumb glowed reflecting the morning sunlight. Without hesitation, Panembahan descended into the pit and took it.

“Hm, what is this thing?” his inner.

The semi-circular Crystal Stone was so smooth as a freshly rubbed marble. Panembahan watched him closely. His inner vision was not as sharp as it used to be, after he released all his strength.

“When the full moon, I will take him to Curug Plethuk waterfall to know the content, his inner”.

Suddenly he remembered the prayers he had said in front of his father's grave. His premonition said the Gods heard the grievances and screams of his heart, thus giving this stone to him. He was sure that there was a mystery contained within, which would resolve all of his heartbreak.

“I have to find the other stone. Whoever has it, if a man will I make my brother, if a woman I make my wife, her inner”.

Then suddenly there was the sound of lightning in the morning accompanied by a gentle whir of wind flying the children of his long hair.

“Jleger!”

Riyani sat down in the cart that carried him. According to the orders of his father, Demang Wanasepi, he will be escorted by his guards to his aunt's house in the shaman Kebondalem. His face was agitated, and his seat was not calm. His head looked back. His feelings said his father was in danger of taking his life.

“We're back, ki Jogoboyo!” riyani suddenly said.

Ki Jogoboyo, the head of security, who was sitting next to the sais directing the wagon, immediately turned his head.

“How is ayu?”

“We are back in ki. Turn back the wagon,” Riyani said again.

“Why? Anybody left at home?” ask ki Jogoboyo. “Tell me, later let one of the bodyguards pick it up at home.”

Riyani nodded quickly.

“Not that ki? Anyway, we should go back as soon as possible. Dad in danger?”

Ki Jogoboyo's face gasped in shock. The danger? The feeling at home was fine.

“What danger? Your father told me to take you to London. Said you missed seeing your aunt?”

Riyani shook her head back. Then he jumped off the wagon and ran back to his house. The guards immediately chased him. Riyani stopped and said to one of his guards.

“Down! I borrowed your horse!” his orders.

His face was angry, his eyes were glaring. Without much questioning, the bodyguard immediately went down and gave his horse to the beautiful girl.

“Monggo, ndoro,” said.

Riyani swiftly went up to the saddle. Then his right leg jerked the horse's belly. Quickly the horse ran to bring his lord back to Dalem Kademangan.

“Heya!”

A little while later he had already arrived outside Dalem Kademangan. He went down through the back garden. The atmosphere still looks quiet. Hm, it seems that father's guest hasn't come yet, inwardly. His feet stepped slowly, almost without a sound, afraid that Dad would hear it. After that he went into the house and hid in the back room of the living room. His father was sitting waiting for his best friend.

Before long, the old man who had met him this morning came again. His father immediately welcomed him.

“It turns out you were the one who came, Karangkobar brother. It's been a long time since we parted twenty years ago,” he said.

“You're not surprised to see me Wanasepi?”

“Of course I was surprised, but my son told me about your arrival, so I was not too surprised anymore.”

Their conversation was clearly heard in Riyani's ears.

“What's up? Is there anything so urgent that you go down the mountain from your hermitage?” ask Ki Demang again.

“Yes. There are two important things I need to tell you. The first one I was looking for Santika. Begundal who had dared to take Miryam, wife of my brother Panembahan Somawangi. Is he here?”

Riyani gasped in shock when she heard the old man mention the name of the man she loved so much. Whahuh? Kakang Santika escaped Panembahan Somawangi's wife? So, Miryam already has a husband?

Suddenly the girl's mind was like floating and circling. He did not expect Santiya's leg could do the senista. Escape people's wives? Things that I really can't believe. For a moment he paid no attention to his father's conversation anymore, until he heard the man curse his father angrily.

“Wedhus Stubborn! If you don't know his business, why did you order your sais to drive him home and through the fief? You lied!”

“I'm sorry Karangkobar if you think I'm lying. Then what else do you want from me?”

“Yang second! I'll propose to your daughter!”

“What!”

“Your daughter will marry my sister. Replaced Miryam as the wife of the ruler of Perdikan land, Panembahan Somawangi.”

Riyani's body shook violently at the threatening old man's words. His father could not allow the old man to carry himself. He was sure that his father would rather fight on the ground than hand over the honor of his daughter to the stranger.
